Re: Why does my exported MP3 have low volume?

the left & right channels are out-of-phase
That's my guess. The song seems to play perfectly on any stereo (two speakers or headphones) but falls over on a mono (one speaker) system such as a cellphone.

Re: Remove One Blue Word from Song, Leave Background Music

You drag-select some part of the song and it starts playing immediately? Which version of Audacity do you have and did you get it from here? https://www.audacityteam.org/ I know this isn't your intent, but you are trying to remix an existing song. That's not easy and we're probably not going to get ...

Re: Crackly Audio from Concert???

Audacity will open the sound from many different video types. Open the work in Audacity and set View > Show Clipping . If the timeline lights up in a festival of red bars, or the blue waves fill the screen, that's the end of the sound. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/ShowClipping.jpg The digital ...

Re: Cannot Import MP4a Files

FFMpeg software is required to open up advanced filetypes. If you upgraded to the latest Audacity—2.3.2—it takes a different FFMpeg.

Scroll down for FFMpeg and other plugins.

This document thinks Audacity should work, but if it doesn't, there are other possibilities including one on-line converter.

Re: Putting multiple .au audiofiles into a project

My wild guess is you closed Audacity or changed the state of the machine before it got done saving the revised AU files. If the AUP Project Manager and the AU files have gotten out of step with each other after an edit, it's nearly impossible to reconstruct the show.

Re: Putting multiple .au audiofiles into a project

Close Audacity.

Do you get an error message when you double-click the AUP file?

Re: project file not opening

http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg That's a Project. You can put those two anywhere you like, but you can't put the AUP inside the_DATA folder. You also have to stay away from certain of the system folders or Audacity will not be able to reach them. Stay away from punctu...

Re: Is it possible to remove noise/crackling that is only in the voice?

I had one like that. It destroyed one recording and then never happened again. It's recording the chunks of sound out of order. That's why it seems to be going backwards. If you stick with it long enough, you may find that it gets worse and then slowly gets better. I have no idea why it happened. Koz
